Archaeology at No 10 Best Lane

No. 10 Best Lane was taken over by Invicta Arts in 1987 who decided to
refurbish the building. The Canterbury Archaeological Trust undertook
a major excavation in the building and reported on their findings in
the 1987/1988 Annual Report. The following year, they followed the
development of the building and did some more recording.

Sadly, the shop was closed so you cannot go in to see this building at
present. Although, recently I have heard that someone wanted to turn
the building into a pub, but local businesses are opposing the
planning request.
